The enthusiasm in the eyes of children when they contribute and accomplish something to help thousands of people around the world, is a sight that will bring you to your humble knees. Many of the students at Indian Trail Elementary School in Indian Trail, North Carolina participated in The W3 Project World Water Day Challenge, in their quest to donate each mile they walked for this special project.

Watching the look of anticipation on the faces of each one of these children, literally brings tears to your eyes. They represented diverse ethnicities, genders, personalities and socio-economic backgrounds, which meant absolutely nothing when it came down to walking for a worthy cause.

Upon completion of walking for the W3 Project, students were awarded certificates and a special bag of goodies for their hard work and dedication by donating their miles to provide clean drinking water to at least one person for an entire year. 3M Filtrete made a generous donation to Indian Trail Elementary School and sponsored every mile that each student walked. The W3 Project includes the partnerships of Filtersfast.com, Wine to Water and TrekDesk. Together, they are building a community of humanitarians walking in the pursuit of health and wellness for everyone.

It’s amazing how these children understood the concept that 1 mile = 1 year of clean drinking water for 1 person, while bringing attention to the obesity problem we face in our society. We want to thank the following people from Indian Trail Elementary School who were instrumental in making this project a remarkable success:

We would like to again thank 3M Filtrete for their sponsorship and to all of the students who unselfishly donated their miles for such a worthy cause, thank you for a job well done! To the parents and guardians of these students, thank you so much for supporting them. See you next year!

Memorial Day, which was initially called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. There are varying stories to its actual beginnings, with dozens of towns and cities laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day. Regardless of where it all started, the spirit of it remains the same. The American freedoms that we enjoy today all came with a price. A price that far too many paid with their lives. So the team here at Filters Fast would like to extend a very special thank you to all of our military servicemen and women. You all are truly heroes who deserve this great day of honor. The courage shown by these heroes are second to none, and for that all of you deserve a salute! For everyone who may be attending a cookout this Memorial Day, remember to practice safety first such as never leaving your food unattended on the grill for too long and to use general common sense at the festivities.

Let’s not forget to take time out to support our veterans and fallen soldiers to show them how much we truly appreciate them.
